CONTEST EXPLANATION

NO ENTRY FEE IS REQUIRED TO PARTICIPATE IN A LOCAL CONTEST

EACH SPONSOR WILL HOST 8 CONTEST NIGHTS. 4 NIGHTS PER 2 CATEGORIES. THERE WILL BE A $5.00 COVER CHARGE FOR ALL EIGHT CONTEST NIGHTS. FROM EACH PAID COVER CHARGE, KTC WILL RECEIVE $2.00 AND THE SPONSOR WILL RECEIVE $3.00. EACH PERSON WHO PAYS THE $5.00 COVER CHARGE WILL RECEIVE ONE VOTING BALLOT. NO COVER CHARGE PAID, NO VOTING BALLOT RECEIVED. NOTE: THE ACT DOES NOT HAVE TO PAY AN ENTRY FEE TO ENTER THE CONTEST NOR THE COVER CHARGE, UNLESS THEY DESIRE TO VOTE.

EACH LOCAL CONTEST NIGHTS USUALLY FRIDAY AND SATURDAY BACK TO BACK. ALLOWING FOR AN INTERMISSION, A MAXIMUM OF 30 CONTESTANTS, PER CONTEST NIGHT, WILL TAKE APPROXIMATELY THREE HOURS. THE SHOW IS MORE ENTERTAINING IF THE ACTS ARE ROTATED (MALE VOCALIST THEN JUNIOR VOCALIST ETC) RATHER THAN ALL 15 SENIOR MALE VOCALIST (BACK TO BACK) THEN ALL 15 JUNIOR VOCALIST (BACK TO BACK). AFTER ALL CONTESTANTS HAVE PERFORMED, ALL OF THE MALE VOCALIST ARE CALLED ON-STAGE, IN THE ORDER IN WHICH THEY PERFORMED.

THEN, THE AUDIENCE WILL VOTE FOR THE MALE VOCALIST OF THEIR CHOICE. (1-15) REPEAT THE SAME FOR THE JUNIOR VOCALIST. NO ACTS ARE ELIMINATED UNTIL NIGHT #4 WHEN THE WINNING ACT AND THE 3 FINALIST ACTS IN EACH CATEGORY ARE ANNOUNCED.

SPECIAL NOTE: IF ONLY 12 ACTS ENTER A SPECIFIC CATEGORY THE THE OTHER CATEFORY CAN HAVE 18 ACTS (MAXIMUM OF THIRTY ACTS PER NIGHT) REMEMBER, YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE THIRTY ACTS EACH NIGHT, THAT IS JUST THE MAXIMUM.

HOW THE SPONSORS WINNING TEAM MEMBERS AND THE 3 FINALIST ACTS, IN EACH CATEGORY, ARE DETERMINED

ON NIGHT NUMBER 4 (LOCAL FINALS NIGHT) A PANEL OF 3 OR MORE JUDGES WILL SCORE EVERY ACT THAT PERFORMED ON THAT NIGHT. THEY WILL RETAIN THEIR SCORES UNTIL THE FOLLOWING OCCURS.

AFTER ALL OF THE ACTS HAVE PERFORMED, VOTES CAST, BALLOTS COUNTED FOR NIGHT NUMBER 4 AND ADDED TO THE ACTS VOTE TOTAL, FROM NIGHTS 1-3, EACH JUDGE WILL BE GIVEN A PAGE THAT CONTAINS THE 4 ACTS, IN EACH CATEGORY, WITH THE HIGHEST VOTE TOTAL FOR THE FOUR WEEK PERIOD.

NEXT TO THE ACTS NAME, EACH JUDGE WILL NOW PLACE THE SCORE THEY GAVE TO EACH OF THE 8 ACTS, 4 IN EACH CATEGORY.

THE JUDGES WILL NOW HAVE A BRIEF MEETING AND FROM THE 4 ACTS, IN EACH CATEGORY, THE WINNING ACT IS DETERMINED.

THE MC WILL CONFIRM THE RESULTS AND ANNOUNCE THE WINNING ACTS FROM THE TWO CATEGORIES THAT WILL BE ON THE SPONSORS TEAM AND THE 3 FINALIST ACTS THAT ARE QUALIFIED TO COMPETE AT THE SEMI-FINALS IN OSAGE BEACH, MO.

THE WINNING ACT IN EACH CATEGORY WILL BE PLACED ON THE SPONSORS TEAM AND THAT TEAM WILL BE INVITED TO PERFORM AND COMPETE AT THE NATIONAL SEMI-FINALS IN OSAGE BEACH, MISSOURI.

THE THREE FINALIST ACTS IN EACH CATEGORY WILL BE INVITED TO ATTEND AND PERFORM AT THE NATIONAL SEMI-FINALS IN OSAGE BEACH, MISSOURI WITH THE HOPES OF BEING SELECTED, BY AUDIENCE VOTE, TO BE PLACED ON ONE OF THE THREE AUDIENCE TEAMS THAT WILL COMPETE, ON AN EQUAL BASIS, AGAINST THE VARIOUS SPONSOR TEAMS.

THE REMAINING ACTS WILL SERVE AS A BACK-UP TO THOSE ACTS THAT CANNOT ATTEND THE NATIONAL SEMI-FINALS. IN ORDER TO KEEP AN ACCUMULATED VOTE TOTAL FOR ALL ACTS, THE SPONSOR WILL BE ISSUED A FORM WITH MALE VOCALIST (ETC) WRITTEN IN BOLD LETTERS AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE. THERE WILL BE NUMBERS 1-15 LISTED ON THE PAGE. ONCE AN ACT IS ASSIGNED A PERFORMANCE NUMBER, THEY WILL RETAIN THAT NUMBER THROUGHOUT THE 4 WEEK CONTEST. AFTER THE FIRST NIGHT’S PERFORMANCE, NO ACTS ARE ALLOWED TO ENTER THE CONTEST.

NOTE: ALL ACTS MUST PERFORM TO AN APPROVED KARAOKE TRACK. NO ACAPELLA. NO LIVE MUSICIAL INSTRUMENTS ARE ALLOWED TO BE ON STAGE, EVEN AS A PROP. TRIBUTE ARTIST ACTS ARE ACCEPTABLE.

ONLY THE AMOUNT OF THE CASH PRIZES AWARDED WILL BE AFFECTED IF LESS THAN 18 SPONSORS PARTICIPATE. SEE CASH & PRIZE AGREEMENT FOR DETAILS.

NOT A POPULARITY CONTEST

SAY A MALE VOCALIST IS ONLY A FAIR VOCALIST BUT HE BRINGS 20 PEOPLE TO VOTE FOR HIM. AT THE END OF THE NIGHT WHEN THE VOTING IS TO TAKE PLACE THE MC WILL SAY: YOUR VOTE WILL NOT BE COUNTED UNLESS YOU VOTE IN BOTH CATEGORIES. THEREFORE, ALL OF THE ACTS IN THE JUNIOR VOCALIST CATEGORY MUST ALSO VOTE FOR AN ACT IN THE MALE VOCALIST CATEGORY, AN VICE VERSA. SINCE THE VOTER, THAT CAME TO VOTE FOR A JUNIOR VOCALIST, PROBABLY DOESEN’T KNOW ANY ACT IN THE OTHER CATEGORY, THEY USUALLY VOTE FOR THE ACT THEY THOUGHT WAS THE BEST. AFTER TWENTY YEARS OF HOSTING THE STARMANIA TALENT CONTEST, THROUGHOUT THE NATION, MY EXPERIENCE PROVES THAT I HAVE NEVER WITNESSED A FAIR TO BAD ACT RECEIVING THE MOST VOTES, NO MATTER HOW MANY FRIENDS THEY BROUGHT TO VOTE FOR THEM.

THE GOOD NEWS IS!

A TEAM ONLY HAS TO BEAT 6 OTHER TEAMS TO BE DECLARED THE NATIONAL WINNING TEAM AND RECEIVE THEIR SHARE OF THE ADVERTISED CASH PRIZE PACKAGE.

IT ONLY TAKES 9 KARAOKE ESTABLISHMENTS TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN!
